Redmi Turbo 5 packs 9,000mAh battery, 100W charging, and IP68/69 waterproofing

Redmi’s next Turbo-series Android phone is starting to take shape. A reliable tipster claims the Redmi Turbo 5 will ship with a flat OLED display featuring rounded corners and a 1.5K resolution, plus an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor—a notable step up from the optical reader used on last year’s Turbo 4.

Redmi Turbo 5 Key specs

• Display: Flat OLED, rounded corners, 1.5K resolution

• Biometrics: Ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor (upgrade over optical)

• Battery & charging: 9,000mAh silicon-based battery with 100W wired charging

• Design & durability: Minimalist look akin to Turbo 4; leak suggests “full-level” waterproofing, potentially IP68/IP69

• Chipset: Not confirmed; widely speculated to be Dimensity 8500 Ultra—expected to debut first in OPPO Reno 15 Pro in November

• Launch window: Q1 2026 in China

• Global branding: Likely to arrive internationally as the POCO X8 Pro, around the same timeframe

If accurate, the move to ultrasonic biometrics and an enormous 9,000mAh silicon cell would set the Turbo 5 apart in the performance-value segment, while true IP68/69 protection—if realized—would be rare at this price tier. The remaining question is the SoC: the Dimensity 8500 Ultra rumor points to solid upper-midrange performance with efficiency gains, but we’ll need official confirmation closer to launch.
